I recommend these to everyone I know who mentions any kind of headache and have always received many thanks for turning them onto these. These things are worth their weight in gold. I used to have terrible tension headaches on an almost daily basis and taking numerous pain relievers would leave me with horrible stomach pains. Just one Excedrin Tension Headache works wonders in less than 30 minutes and I rarely have to take a second one. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these in our household. Five stars is not a high enough rating.
